Subject: data structure size on Pentium 1/2/3

Author: John Coffey

Date: 09:45:36 04/18/00

I am writting a data structure that I have to copy with every new node.  I was
planning on using 16 bytes, but could maybe get it down to 8  using short
integers.  I am wondering if short integers (16 bits) can be accessed any faster
than 32 bit integers or if they are actually slower.  Also will the difference
between copying 8 bytes and 16 bytes per node make any difference in
terms of my overall speed?

My target platform is a Pentium-III 450.
